336398	2005-03-21 03:41:00	I was thinking of going back to, or perhaps just half using MSN messenger for its speech feature, and how it seems to work fine over 56k. Also MSN plus. Right now I am using AMSN (http://amsn.sf.net). However I want to use MSN 5. Because the versions after that are just a spamfest of shiny buttons and pritty little window borders and I freaking hate it. I read on mess.be that msn 4.7 and 5.0 are still supported on the MSN network, well.. at least I think thats what they're trying to say: Although older versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger are locked from use -- only MSN Messenger 5 or higher and Windows Messenger 4.7.2000 or higher will work. (i luffs the pastequote extension for firefox) So anyway, I downloaded and installed msn 5.0 but it says I have to download the new version... How can I stop it from checking the version or watever it does? Cheers Hamstar	hamstar (4)

336402	2005-03-21 13:47:00	Im still hooked on Gaim :) Gotta admit that IM2 does look attractive, but _just_ not attractive enough to pull me away from Gaim-Encryption ;)	Chilling_Silence (9)
336403	2005-03-30 00:16:00	I had a look at GAIM. Its the most active project on sourceforge... but then.. wheres all the features...? I was really dissapointed. Wait... 1.20 is the latest version eh? I ran back to aMSN, tried trillian 3 but YUK!!! its as n00bish as windows XP!	hamstar (4)
